Riding Info
This is an urban riding on the east edge of Greater Vancouver. The Fraser River forms the northern and western boundaries. The eastern border is the Fraser Highway and 152nd Street and the southern boundary is 88th Avenue, King George Highway, 120th Street and 96th Avenue.
This riding was formed in 1986 through the combination of portions of Surrey-White Rock-North Delta and Fraser Valley West. In 1996, about 40 per cent of the riding was carved away. In 2004, another 11 per cent was removed, while about 5,000 people from Surrey Central were added.
Population: 111,960 (2006 census; an increase of 4.7% since 2001)
Political History
In 2008, Conservative Dona Cadman took the seat once held by her late husband, Chuck Cadman, beating New Democrat Rachid Arab by slightly more than 1,000 votes. New Democrat Penny Priddy took this seat in 2006, filling the void left by the death of Cadman, who was serving as an Independent.
Cadman was re-elected for his third term in 2004, the only unaffiliated candidate to win in that election. He was voted in under the Reform banner in 1997, winning over Liberal Clayton Campbell by more than 6,000 votes. In 2000, he attracted 9,694 more votes than his nearest challenger, Liberal Shinder Purewal. Cadman died of cancer on July 5, 2005, while Parliament was still in session.
From 1979 until 1988, Surrey-White Rock-North Delta was the seat of Progressive Conservative Benno Friesen. A New Democrat, Jim Karpoff, won Surrey North in 1988, and the Reform's Margaret Bridgman became MP in 1993.
